The question of a possible meeting between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump is being worked out, but has not yet moved into a practical plane. It is difficult to say when and where it will take place, but it could happen at any moment.
This was stated by Yuri Ushakov, aide to Russian dictator Putin, as reported by UNN with reference to Russian media.
Working contact with the Americans is ongoing. The issue is on the agenda, but has not yet moved into a practical plane. But the parties intend to raise it one way or another, and I think that this meeting could well take place. Where and when is still difficult to say, of course.
Answering a clarifying question about the timing of this meeting, Ushakov said:
It could happen at any moment. You see, it largely depends on the leaders.
He also claims that it is possible that a meeting will take place for which teams will seriously prepare, or perhaps the leaders will simply agree to meet and personally discuss some issues, after which they will give instructions to their subordinates.
